Who are our teachers? Do we know them very well beyond the school compound or they’re just our teachers? How much respect do we accord to our teachers?
Teachers are human too. A God’s being who were brought up in this world to teach. They come in many form and disguise.
Some are regulars teachers serving primary and secondary schools. Some serves in the university and some teach in dilapidated wooden house in ‘sekolah pondok’. There are many who also teaches in university.
Things are not easy clamed some teachers. They’re the educator and they’re also the disciplinarian. They carry more roles than our parents and spend more time with us but yet they’re also first to be blame for their student’s failure.
Are they well paid to handle all this stressful situation? As far as I can remember we students have never been good to them. Stealing, skipping school, extortion, vandalism etc. You name it, we’ve done that. So back to the question, “Are they well paid?”
Are they well respected? My late grandfather always said that teachers are always prim and proper and they usually attract a lot of attention from ‘future parents in law’, pretty young ladies, and also children who would like to be like them. Those days teachers are well respected individuals. Every mom and dad wanted their children to be teachers and many wanted to marry off their daughters to teachers.
Kampung folks seek their opinion on almost anything. Children would carry their bag at school. Whenever there’s confrontation, they’ll be the first to be call upon to settle it.
But how is the situation today? Teacher is considered a last resort career. Many will only choose teacher-ship when they don’t have much choice. When all attempts have been exhausted, then they’ll turn to teaching profession.
We do get some bad apples among teachers too. But fortunately this numbers are kept low. Like any other profession, you do get trouble makers who’ll tarnish the image of this teaching profession.
Other than parents, teachers are our point of reference whenever we need some answers. What the government needs to do is to further enhance the benefits and remuneration package for teachers.
I hope the teachers today will take this profession seriously. They might not been paid as highly as their counterparts abroad but they do know for a fact that whenever they see a successful story, they know that other than parents, teachers contribute a lot to that success story.

Chin Peng: The Last Attempt!
I heard that there is an effort by “somebody”, asking Chin Peng, the former Communist party of Malaya’s leader to be “forgiven” and allowed to come back to Malaysia. Chin Peng was exiled by our government since Communist party of Malaya (CPA) had been banned due causing some dangerous activities which lead to insecurity of Malaysia.
Communist Party of Malaya was founded by 1930s. The party turned to Malayan People Anti-Japanese Army (MPAJA) and it turns back to Communist Party of Malaya after the Japanese surrendered in World War II. They basically fought the Japanese at first as guerrilla “modus operandi”. Chin Peng leads the CPA, since he was the most senior leader after Lai Tek’s betrayal of being “double agent” for British and Japanese.
Chin Peng claimed to be responsible for killing civilians and some colonialist. Three plantation managers were killed by the Communist party of Malaysia. He denied the accusation, but I think he should responsible due his lead to the party. MPAJA also was claimed responsible for killing the Malays and Chinese ethnic in Malaysia. This unmerciful acts lead to Malayan colonial administration to declare a State of Emergency, and CPA was banned.
The civil war between the government of Malaya and CPA started on 1960 and it took a few years to end. Many of our soldiers, civilians and even Chinese were killed by the CPA during this period. The Royal Army of Malaysia successfully urged Chin Peng and his comrade guerillas to back off from Malaysia and they were totally exiled from Malaysia due to their sins! Chin Peng has live in exile since then.
There are some attempts that had been made by several “people” who denies the “sensitivity” of the victims of the attacks made by the Communist Party of Malaya. Thank God, the attempts were rejected by the High Court of Malaysia due to the sensitivity of Malaysian within that time.
But now, the attempt of bringing back Chin Peng is “voice” by somebody. He states that the reason is based on “humanitarian” grounds. “Humanitarian grounds”? What about the “humanitarian” of the victims of the CPA attacks? Are they are not “human” too? How about the sensitivity of their families? What if the “person” who calls the “forgiveness of Chin Peng” have a relatives which killed by Chin Peng’s comrades? Does he “count” on this?
He also claims that the Communism all around the world is no longer practice, and the communist was transformed to “economic-based struggles”. I could be agreed with this point. But, does he think about the “sins” of Chin Peng which leads to the death of many of our civilians? Do the families of the Royal armies who killed in the civil war will forgive Chin Peng? Will they easily “forgive and forget” the person who caused them grows without fathers, brothers or sons? Oh! Come on! Put yourself in their shoes.
I know that Chin Peng is no longer a threat to Malaysian security. He is 85 years old now and could no longer carry a rifle and shoot the people around. He is too old for that. But he is still a threat for my judgement. His mind is still a threat. By this age, he can say anything that he wanted. He could say lies about many things which could change the truth of Malaysia history. He could manipulate his so called “jungle experience” and try to portray to Malaysian as he is the “real” Malaysia independent leader! The story will be just the same as the tale of Raja Petra, “the real make up story teller”.
He will not loose anything by this age. Returning to Malaysia or just stay where he is will make no different to him or to the “person” who tries to bring him back now. But if he comes back to Malaysia, it will “hurt” and bring high “disturbance” on the sensitivity of victims of the attacks of the bloody Communist party of Malaya once upon a time ago. My advice is just stay where you are. Don’t come back or you will bring back another of problem to the government of Malaysia. Our government is quite busy at this time to think about Chin Peng’s. His bloody hands are still “covered with blood”!
I don’t have any idea about the reason of this “person” to bring Chin Peng back to Malaysia by this time. Is he tries to get media attentions? Or he is trying to get another “cheap publicity” to the public and to make sure that the public notice about his existence among the political leaders in this country. What a shame on him to make this call!

EASY LIFE WITH LESS THAN 1 RINGGIT.
How much is the value of our money today? What can we buy with 10 sen? And how far can we get with 50 sen? What can we eat with 1 ringgit? All in all that’s the value of our parent’s hard work then.
40 sen was my pocket money to school 25 years ago. With that money I can buy my self a plate of ‘mee goreng’ for 30 sen and a glass of ‘sirap’ for 10 sen during recess.
Back then with less than 100 ringgit you can get 3 sets of clothes and a pair of shoes for Baju Raya. And today a pair of ‘kasut raya’ will cost you more or maybe close to 100 ringgit.
I remember 18 years ago my mom used to sell cookies for Raya. Back then it was 10 ringgit for 100 pieces of cookies. Today I think it’ll cost you more than 25 ringgit for a few hundred grams of cookies.
I remember those days my father used to pay the petrol station 20 ringgit to fill up the tank. With that we managed to travel ‘balik kampung’ from Penang to Alor Setar. Today with 20 ringgit worth of petrol, it’ll probably take me as far as across Penang Bridge.
I remember then ‘ais krim Malaysia’ only cost me between 5-10 sen a piece. It’s still cheap today, somewhere between 20-50 sen a piece but it’s a bit smaller or should I say shorter in size.
Back then in Penang, the city council was the only local authority that operates public bus system. It was simply known as ‘Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang’ or in short M.P.P.P. (some call it ‘Monyet Panjat Pokok Pisang’). To travel from Air Itam to Komtar it’ll only cost us children 25 sen and 50 sen for adults.
One of the best ‘roti canai’ served in Penang only cost me 30 sen and ‘teh tarik’ was 40 sen in the 80s. And today ‘roti canai’ is hitting 1 ringgit mark and ‘teh tarik’ is hitting 1.50 ringgit.
I remember back then while walking home after a game of football at the ‘padang’, we would treat ourselves with a piece of ‘sengkuang’ (turnip) as big as our palm which cost us 10 sen. With 10 sen today, you probably get a piece of ‘sengkuang’ as big as your 10 sen coin.
Football boots back then was expensive. A branded pair will cost our parents between 50-80 ringgit. So we make do with 10 ringgit ‘but kicap’. And today I heard parents bought 200 ringgit football boots for their teenage son who can’t even kick properly.
I used to have 2 white shirts, a pair of olive green trouser and a pair of white canvas shoes for school. These must last me at least a whole year. Today, school going kids have a set for each weekdays and I don’t think school uniforms were more expensive back then.
That’s life in the 80s. It was cheap and full of fun. We create our own games. And due to this, we’re much more physically active. Everything cost less than 1 ringgit and we’re not exposed to fast food then. Mat Sentul was our idol with his brand of junk food advertisement like Kum Kum, Ding Dang, Tora, Nini and many others.
As kids we don’t have to worry much. We leave the worrying to our parents. They have to work hard to make our life better and more meaningful.
And now when it’s our turn to be parents, we leave the worrying to the government! They have to work hard to make our life better and more meaningful.
Isn’t it wonderful when you don’t have to worry about anything?

Penanti: A Political Gamble Permissable By Democratic System
So, BN has decided not to run for upcoming by- election. So far 4 parties have bought the forms to contest in the by- election. Are we going to see a contest or a walk over?
Contest or no contest, the show has to go on. Someone has to fill in the seat. But the question can only be answered on the 31st May 2009.
According to sources, this wasn’t the first time BN decided not to contest in the by-election. And one of the contests that they didn’t partake was also of the same circumstances as what we see today.
I see this by-election as just another political play by Anwar Ibrahim. There is no necessity to actually have a by-election.
The previous representative was made to step down due to numerous complaints against him. However ‘to further studies’ was use as an excuse for his stepping down.
Come on, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that ‘studies’ wasn’t the reason. If he has any intention to further his studies, he shouldn’t have contested in the general election.
He should have known that being a politician is not laughing matter. There are a lot of sacrifices that need to be made.
Back to the by-election, what sort of changes that the constituents expect from this by-election? Are they expecting significant changes like what been promised in the previous general election?
So far I don’t see any significant changes. So what? Are they expecting things and infrastructure to change significantly after this election?
I don’t see much change in Penanti except they’re getting a new representative soon. PKR has not been doing anything to change people’s perception on them.
Today many see PKR as a nuisance. They instigated fear and disharmony among Malaysians. I don’t expect from the independent candidates. They don’t have the financial will to pursue development agenda.
So what can the independent candidates promise for the Penanti-ans? Are they really serious about serving the rakyat? Or they’re just another group of who are trying to make big bucks from the flaws in our constitution?
I don’t agree with this by-election. I see this as a waste of time and human resources. In this trying time, we Malaysian should sit together and try to overcome the problems that we’re facing right now.
I hope we will learn from the by-election in Penanti. The government has to do something to prevent this form of abuse.
Before I forget, I think these phantom voters are from Penang.ad a dream last night. My dream hinted that BN is not going to contest in Penanti, but at the same time I still see a lot of buses from outstation. I hope these busesses are not carrying phantom voters.

The Malay Dilemma Ian Buruma's Version: A Rubbish!
Ian Buruma no doubt is a famous writer. But he is maybe famous just within PKR supporters. He is not Malay and not a Malaysian either. He was born in the The Hague, Netherlands. He is not majoring about Malaysia even South East Asia in his study and suddenly giving his comment about “Malays dilemma”? But he he comes, the beloved writer of Anwar Ibrahim, might be just because he write in favor of PKR and Anwar interest!
I just read a “rubbish” article by Ian Buruma. The title is “The Malays Dilemma”. Maybe he likes to take credit and “cheap publicity” by copying Tun Dr. Mahathir’s book “The Malay Dilemma”. You want to read the content? Just visit http://anwaribrahimblog.com/2009/05/15/the-malay-dilemma. It’s very long article to be write up here. But I did quote some of it to be published.
Ian said:
Anwar — who had rebounded from six years in prison on corruption and sodomy charges to become the best hope for a more democratic, less corrupt Malaysia — speaks softly. He is still under constant surveillance, he said.
I say:
How could Anwar be the “hope” of more democratic, less corrupt Malaysia? He is the ex-prisoner which convicted in corruption cases. Even court had made the decision conviting him legally. He is proven in court as a guilty person. Is Ian trying to insult the courts or legal systems? Even his ex-UMNO buddies talking how corrupt Anwar is. Some of them might call him as “the father of corruption”! Just ask Tan Sri Sanusi Junid how Anwar “bought” votes from Sabah in order to get the late Tun Ghafar Baba leave the Deputy President of UMNO seat. How could be Ian dares to claim Anwar to get “less” corruption? Anwar is not a fighter, he is a loser.
Ian wrote:
This was the same Anwar Ibrahim, one struggled to remember, who was once at the heart of the Malaysian establishment: the Minister of Culture in 1983, the Minister of Education in 1986, the Minister of Finance in 1991 and a Deputy Prime Minister in 1993. He was poised to succeed Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammed. And then he got overconfident. Starting in the summer of 1997, when the Malaysian currency and stock market lost more than half of their value in the Asian financial meltdown, Anwar did something that Dr Mahathir found unforgivable.
I say:
Is Anwar crazy to “sell” Malaysia to IMF? That is one of the reasons that made Tun M angry with him. If Ian wrote about the “unforgivable”, then he should ask the SB’s and Intelligent. They “know” well the “unforgivable” acts by Anwar. Even worlds are giving credits to Mohammad Nor Yaakob and Tun M to practiced capital control. The whole world says that it is a brave and brilliant way to “teach” the “rouge speculator”, but some PKR are “proudly claiming that “it was Anwar’s ideas”! Don’t they know that they are Mohammad Nor Yaakob and Tun M who struggled to safe Malaysia from Soros “The Culprit”, a good friend of Anwar himself. Then Anwar wanted to “mortgage” Malaysia to IMF? Is that the level of IQ that Anwar have to solve Malaysia economic problem? He could not even “reach” Tun’s mind!
Ian said:
Even as the prime minister was imposing capital controls and blaming “rogue speculators,” such as George Soros, for the crisis, Anwar launched an attack on “nepotism” and “cronyism” in his own party, UMNO, which had been in power since independence. The “cronies” included members of Dr Mahathir’s family. While Dr Mahathir tried to bail out banks and corporations run by his allies, Anwar talked about transparency and accepting some of the International Monetary Fund’s recommendations for liberalising the economy.
I say:
The nepotism and cronyism terms was promoted by Anwar to make Tun M looks bad among Malaysian. The question is, why does Anwar did not used the same terms on Pak Lah when he is the Prime Minister? There were KJ, the level 4 boys, Pak Lah cronies within media, Kamaludin and Patrick Badawi. Oh! Pak Lah acted on Anwar’s favor? Pak Lah released him and “satu kampung”? In facts, Tun M forbids his families to join “serious” political involvement. Many times that Tun was suggested by the UMNO’s veterans to make his sons as UMNO leaders, but he refused. No place for Mokhzani, Mirzan and Mukhriz when he is the Prime Minister. Does Ian know how Anwar “spread” the pink form within his cronies to secure his place as Deputy President of UMNO? Ian better as Ezam, he knows. Ian wrote:
Nobody was likely to miss the implication; Dr Mahathir has clearly stated his conviction that “Jews rule this world by proxy.” At the Hilton, Anwar, who started his career as the president of the Malaysian Muslim Students Union, and is a devout Muslim, shrugged. “They say I’m a Jewish agent, because of my friendship with Paul,” he said. “They also accuse me of being a lackey of the Chinese.” His eyebrows twitched in a gesture of disbelief, and he emitted a dry, barking laugh.
I say:
Does this PKR Imam does not recite Al-Quran? "Wa lan tardhau antumul yahudu wa lan nasara hatta tattabi'a millatahum". Which means "the Jews and Christians will not EVER be on your side unless you follow their way”. The PAS spiritual leader also said that “be careful when your enemies agreed with you”. We can see that almost every election or by-election, PKR will “meet” their “master”. The latest was the Bukit Selambau when Saifudin Nasution met “somebody” at Cinta Sayang Club. “They” help PKR a lot. Is there nothing in “return”? Yeah right!
Ian wrote:
To make sense of Anwar’s rise, fall, and rise, it helps to know something about the role of race and religion in Malaysia. The country’s population is more than half Malay, defined by ethnicity and the Muslim faith, but large numbers of Chinese (now about a quarter of the population) and Indians (seven per cent) arrived in the 19th century, when the British imported coolies from China and plantation workers from India. Tensions arising from this mélange — and, in particular, the fear held by Malays that they will always be bested by these minorities — have gripped Malaysian politics since the country achieved independence from the British, in 1957. In recent years, the situation has been further complicated by a surge in Islamic fervour among many Malays.
I say:
Is that how the way Ian Buruma judged the "role of race and religion in Malaysia"? Just the way how Anwar rise, fall and rise again and will be fall again? Why he took Anwar as his “model”? What is so “special” about Anwar? Why Ian did not take Tun M, Nik Aziz, Hadi Awang or Lim Kit Siang as his model? It’s not a fair judgement. He is so “bias” Is that what Ian and Anwar call “justice”?
Ian wrote:
Lim was one of several people I spoke to in Malaysia who used the word “apartheid” in describing his country. “The ethnic situation has become much worse,” he said, especially since Malay nationalism took a strong Islamic turn in the late 1980s, when UMNO was challenged by PAS. The Islamists got a boost from the Iranian Revolution, and actually took power in Kelantan in 1990. To preëmpt the Islamists, UMNO, ostensibly a secular party, wedded its ethnic nationalism (which was decidedly not a feature of PAS) to religion: Muslims were no longer supposed to drink alcohol; women were encouraged to wear head scarves (tudung); easygoing Malay Islam took on the harsher tone of Wahhabi purism.
I say:
Apartheid? The Islamic awareness is no doubt was aroused on late 1980s. It was the time when Tun M begins to be Malaysia’s Prime Minister. It was the era when the army cocktail party will no more serve alcoholic drinks. No PT short among armies and replace a long pants to maintain “aurat”. Wearing “tudung” is a must in Islam as to cover “aurat”. It’s not Wahabi who urges the act. Even Imam Shafie in his “mazhab” asked us to cover the “aurat” by wearing clothes. Why should he bother us to practice our religion by accusing us to be “apartheid”? What a bad call!
Ian wrote:
Meanwhile, in Lim’s view, educated Malays have been too timid to resist, whatever they might do or say in private. “I’ve seen it happening with my progressive university friends,” Lim said. “Wives take to wearing the tudung, the daughters cover up. Their passivity, their silence, is very bad for the community, because it allows the ultras to set the agenda. Islam has become more and more conservative. Muslims can no longer go to non-Malay restaurants or visit the houses of non-Malay friends. Tensions have grown. We’re reverting to the colonial situation, where the different races only meet in the marketplace.”
I say:
Oh God! These statements are insulting Islam and its practices! Passivity and silence becomes a threat to them? How could practicing “tudung” to cover “aurat” become a threat to community? Allows to the ultras to set agenda? What kind of agenda? What a bad call and bad thoughts by them again. We just obey our religion and practice the way it should be! "lakum dinukum wa liya din"! it is not conservative, it is Islamic fundamental! Who says the Malays can not go to non-Malays restaurants? Not all McDonalds are belong to Muslim? And who says Malays can not visit their non-Malays friends? Every Chinese New Year, Deepavali and Christmas, the Malays are actively visiting each others. Who is the one trying to be “apartheid”? It might be them who tried to grow the “apartheid” attitude within Malaysian!
Ian menulis lagi:
Kelantan has hardly any huge buildings. Everything in the state capital, Kota Bharu, near the border with Thailand, is built on a modest scale. I met the PAS vice-president, Husam Musa, at the party headquarters. Husam, an economist by training, is not an imam but one of the new breed of professionals in Islamist politics. He was polite, if a little defensive. On the question of an Islamic state, he said this goal was often misunderstood: “We don’t mean a state ruled by clerics but one guided by the holy books. Without the books, we’d be like UMNO and just grab the money. The difference between us and them is that we believe we will be judged in the afterlife.”
Saya kata:
Husam! You better be careful with your words! What did you meant by these statements? The Husam’s statements show that the UMNOs do not believe in the “judgement day”. It means that Husam tries to portray that we are not Muslim like he is. We believe in Pillar of Iman, including believe in judgement day. We are brothers in Islam, but we are not “Islam PAS” members! This is a statement of PAS Deputy President candidate?
Ian tulis lagi:
He said that Islam was “pro-progress,” and that American democracy was a good model. (“Unfriendly people will accuse me of being pro-American for making this statement.”) He also said that discriminating against ethnic minorities was “un-Islamic,” as was government corruption. “People should be treated the same, and that includes the freedom of religion,” he said.

This is an example of "endorgan" nominees in PAS? He is might be one of the “fellow father’s assistants” whom Nik Abduh meant in his article. I can see some of them nodded! An American PAS...
This is just some of my answer of some paragraphs of so called “professor” who give his lectures to Oxford, Princeton and Harvard University. There are some paragraphs that I do not need to comment though I think it’s not relevant and out of facts. I had been informed that the article was published in The New Yorker magazine instead of “De Facto’s” blog. It is an article with full of rubbish which is better to be “garbaged”, but still published in it? J
I just read a “rubbish” article by Ian Buruma. The title is “The Malays Dilemma”. Maybe he likes to take credit and “cheap publicity” by copying Tun Dr. Mahathir’s book “The Malay Dilemma”. You want to read the content? Just visit http://anwaribrahimblog.com/2009/05/15/the-malay-dilemma. It’s very long article to be write up here. But I did quote some of it to be published.
Ian said:
Anwar — who had rebounded from six years in prison on corruption and sodomy charges to become the best hope for a more democratic, less corrupt Malaysia — speaks softly. He is still under constant surveillance, he said.
I say:
How could Anwar be the “hope” of more democratic, less corrupt Malaysia? He is the ex-prisoner which convicted in corruption cases. Even court had made the decision conviting him legally. He is proven in court as a guilty person. Is Ian trying to insult the courts or legal systems? Even his ex-UMNO buddies talking how corrupt Anwar is. Some of them might call him as “the father of corruption”! Just ask Tan Sri Sanusi Junid how Anwar “bought” votes from Sabah in order to get the late Tun Ghafar Baba leave the Deputy President of UMNO seat. How could be Ian dares to claim Anwar to get “less” corruption? Anwar is not a fighter, he is a loser.
Ian wrote:
This was the same Anwar Ibrahim, one struggled to remember, who was once at the heart of the Malaysian establishment: the Minister of Culture in 1983, the Minister of Education in 1986, the Minister of Finance in 1991 and a Deputy Prime Minister in 1993. He was poised to succeed Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammed. And then he got overconfident. Starting in the summer of 1997, when the Malaysian currency and stock market lost more than half of their value in the Asian financial meltdown, Anwar did something that Dr Mahathir found unforgivable.
I say:
Is Anwar crazy to “sell” Malaysia to IMF? That is one of the reasons that made Tun M angry with him. If Ian wrote about the “unforgivable”, then he should ask the SB’s and Intelligent. They “know” well the “unforgivable” acts by Anwar. Even worlds are giving credits to Mohammad Nor Yaakob and Tun M to practiced capital control. The whole world says that it is a brave and brilliant way to “teach” the “rouge speculator”, but some PKR are “proudly claiming that “it was Anwar’s ideas”! Don’t they know that they are Mohammad Nor Yaakob and Tun M who struggled to safe Malaysia from Soros “The Culprit”, a good friend of Anwar himself. Then Anwar wanted to “mortgage” Malaysia to IMF? Is that the level of IQ that Anwar have to solve Malaysia economic problem? He could not even “reach” Tun’s mind!
Ian said:
Even as the prime minister was imposing capital controls and blaming “rogue speculators,” such as George Soros, for the crisis, Anwar launched an attack on “nepotism” and “cronyism” in his own party, UMNO, which had been in power since independence. The “cronies” included members of Dr Mahathir’s family. While Dr Mahathir tried to bail out banks and corporations run by his allies, Anwar talked about transparency and accepting some of the International Monetary Fund’s recommendations for liberalising the economy.
I say:
The nepotism and cronyism terms was promoted by Anwar to make Tun M looks bad among Malaysian. The question is, why does Anwar did not used the same terms on Pak Lah when he is the Prime Minister? There were KJ, the level 4 boys, Pak Lah cronies within media, Kamaludin and Patrick Badawi. Oh! Pak Lah acted on Anwar’s favor? Pak Lah released him and “satu kampung”? In facts, Tun M forbids his families to join “serious” political involvement. Many times that Tun was suggested by the UMNO’s veterans to make his sons as UMNO leaders, but he refused. No place for Mokhzani, Mirzan and Mukhriz when he is the Prime Minister. Does Ian know how Anwar “spread” the pink form within his cronies to secure his place as Deputy President of UMNO? Ian better as Ezam, he knows. Ian wrote:
Nobody was likely to miss the implication; Dr Mahathir has clearly stated his conviction that “Jews rule this world by proxy.” At the Hilton, Anwar, who started his career as the president of the Malaysian Muslim Students Union, and is a devout Muslim, shrugged. “They say I’m a Jewish agent, because of my friendship with Paul,” he said. “They also accuse me of being a lackey of the Chinese.” His eyebrows twitched in a gesture of disbelief, and he emitted a dry, barking laugh.
I say:
Does this PKR Imam does not recite Al-Quran? "Wa lan tardhau antumul yahudu wa lan nasara hatta tattabi'a millatahum". Which means "the Jews and Christians will not EVER be on your side unless you follow their way”. The PAS spiritual leader also said that “be careful when your enemies agreed with you”. We can see that almost every election or by-election, PKR will “meet” their “master”. The latest was the Bukit Selambau when Saifudin Nasution met “somebody” at Cinta Sayang Club. “They” help PKR a lot. Is there nothing in “return”? Yeah right!
Ian wrote:
To make sense of Anwar’s rise, fall, and rise, it helps to know something about the role of race and religion in Malaysia. The country’s population is more than half Malay, defined by ethnicity and the Muslim faith, but large numbers of Chinese (now about a quarter of the population) and Indians (seven per cent) arrived in the 19th century, when the British imported coolies from China and plantation workers from India. Tensions arising from this mélange — and, in particular, the fear held by Malays that they will always be bested by these minorities — have gripped Malaysian politics since the country achieved independence from the British, in 1957. In recent years, the situation has been further complicated by a surge in Islamic fervour among many Malays.
I say:
Is that how the way Ian Buruma judged the "role of race and religion in Malaysia"? Just the way how Anwar rise, fall and rise again and will be fall again? Why he took Anwar as his “model”? What is so “special” about Anwar? Why Ian did not take Tun M, Nik Aziz, Hadi Awang or Lim Kit Siang as his model? It’s not a fair judgement. He is so “bias” Is that what Ian and Anwar call “justice”?
Ian wrote:
Lim was one of several people I spoke to in Malaysia who used the word “apartheid” in describing his country. “The ethnic situation has become much worse,” he said, especially since Malay nationalism took a strong Islamic turn in the late 1980s, when UMNO was challenged by PAS. The Islamists got a boost from the Iranian Revolution, and actually took power in Kelantan in 1990. To preëmpt the Islamists, UMNO, ostensibly a secular party, wedded its ethnic nationalism (which was decidedly not a feature of PAS) to religion: Muslims were no longer supposed to drink alcohol; women were encouraged to wear head scarves (tudung); easygoing Malay Islam took on the harsher tone of Wahhabi purism.
I say:
Apartheid? The Islamic awareness is no doubt was aroused on late 1980s. It was the time when Tun M begins to be Malaysia’s Prime Minister. It was the era when the army cocktail party will no more serve alcoholic drinks. No PT short among armies and replace a long pants to maintain “aurat”. Wearing “tudung” is a must in Islam as to cover “aurat”. It’s not Wahabi who urges the act. Even Imam Shafie in his “mazhab” asked us to cover the “aurat” by wearing clothes. Why should he bother us to practice our religion by accusing us to be “apartheid”? What a bad call!
Ian wrote:
Meanwhile, in Lim’s view, educated Malays have been too timid to resist, whatever they might do or say in private. “I’ve seen it happening with my progressive university friends,” Lim said. “Wives take to wearing the tudung, the daughters cover up. Their passivity, their silence, is very bad for the community, because it allows the ultras to set the agenda. Islam has become more and more conservative. Muslims can no longer go to non-Malay restaurants or visit the houses of non-Malay friends. Tensions have grown. We’re reverting to the colonial situation, where the different races only meet in the marketplace.”
I say:
Oh God! These statements are insulting Islam and its practices! Passivity and silence becomes a threat to them? How could practicing “tudung” to cover “aurat” become a threat to community? Allows to the ultras to set agenda? What kind of agenda? What a bad call and bad thoughts by them again. We just obey our religion and practice the way it should be! "lakum dinukum wa liya din"! it is not conservative, it is Islamic fundamental! Who says the Malays can not go to non-Malays restaurants? Not all McDonalds are belong to Muslim? And who says Malays can not visit their non-Malays friends? Every Chinese New Year, Deepavali and Christmas, the Malays are actively visiting each others. Who is the one trying to be “apartheid”? It might be them who tried to grow the “apartheid” attitude within Malaysian!

Kelantan has hardly any huge buildings. Everything in the state capital, Kota Bharu, near the border with Thailand, is built on a modest scale. I met the PAS vice-president, Husam Musa, at the party headquarters. Husam, an economist by training, is not an imam but one of the new breed of professionals in Islamist politics. He was polite, if a little defensive. On the question of an Islamic state, he said this goal was often misunderstood: “We don’t mean a state ruled by clerics but one guided by the holy books. Without the books, we’d be like UMNO and just grab the money. The difference between us and them is that we believe we will be judged in the afterlife.”
Saya kata:
Husam! You better be careful with your words! What did you meant by these statements? The Husam’s statements show that the UMNOs do not believe in the “judgement day”. It means that Husam tries to portray that we are not Muslim like he is. We believe in Pillar of Iman, including believe in judgement day. We are brothers in Islam, but we are not “Islam PAS” members! This is a statement of PAS Deputy President candidate?
Ian tulis lagi:
He said that Islam was “pro-progress,” and that American democracy was a good model. (“Unfriendly people will accuse me of being pro-American for making this statement.”) He also said that discriminating against ethnic minorities was “un-Islamic,” as was government corruption. “People should be treated the same, and that includes the freedom of religion,” he said.

Beware My Beloved Muslim Brother Of Pas
Hadi is the man. Hadi is the president. Hadi was reported today to maintain as the President of PAS. He won the title. He is the “captain” again. He won 136 vote against 1 vote for Nik Aziz by the Bukit Bintang PAS division. And Nik Aziz can not claim himself as the “captain” anymore! It can’t be two “captain” for a ship and the “captain” is not Nik Aziz. He can forget his “dream” becoming the “captain” as he used to “hint” before.
There are 5 contestants for Deputy President of PAS. Nasharuddin as the current Deputy President of PAS is going to hold the post against 4 other candidates. They are Husam the “endorgan”, Mat Sabu the “inventor of Al-Juburi term”, Azizan Razak the “MB of Kedah” and Ust. Harun Din the “businessman who own Darul Shifa”. There they go for the seat in the same method of UMNO election last Mac. The lust for the Deputy President seat is so high! It was predicted to be a very hard core fight. It was predicted to be a “cold war” in this “lustful” seat competition among the “lebais”!
Nasharuddin was the favorite? He is believed to get 60% vote to contest the “hot” seat. The rumors said that he is in the “ulama” coalition. But could he succeed defending his “power”? They say that he is “weak”, some of them claimed that he is not doing his work. Some of them said that he is “lembik” defending PAS interest in Pakatan Rakyat coalition. He is so “quite” and not the true fighter of PAS. Is that true? I heard the rumors from the northern PAS members. But of course they don’t want me to disclose their identity.
Will Husam succeed in his attempt? I think he will have a good support from the “wind of endorgan” in PAS. The endorgan who tries so hard to give PKR virus injection since years. Since the Kamaruddin Jaafar, buddy of Anwar enter the “gate” of PAS “markaz”. Then the idealism of “endorgan” pours within PAS “wind of change”. There is no more Islamic state. There is no more “hudud”. There are major revolutions in determining the PAS manifesto. The manifesto changed year by year. And the mastermind is so called the “magical black magic hand” of Anwar Ibrahim.
There comes Mat Sabu. The term of “Al-Juburi” is believed was “invented” by him. He knows Anwar since they studied. He used to see Tun Dr. Mahathir, and Tun asked him whether he is the one who responsible by him. He just nodded to confirm and the story was told by one of “Tun’s today most popular son”. By record, I would like to remind you that Mat Sabu is the person who was caught “khalwat” with one of his “friend’s wife” and found “not guilty” by the court. But the rumors said that he married the woman after that incident! What a co-incident marriage if so!
Azizan Razak is the new MB for Kedah State. He is believe to be one of the PAS veteran who still alive to carry out the main hard core PAS nowadays. But he did no new thing in Kedah. He just carries to do what the last Kedah BN’s state government used to do. He does just the same job without any new “wow” factor project. It was only once, when he confirmed to run a mega hi-tech pig sanctuary at Bukit Selambau. But the project was cancelled due to get so much pressure especially from UMNO! Phew! What an almost a disaster for Bukit Selambau residents!
And the last candidate for Deputy President of PAS is Dato’ Dr. Harun Din. He is the businessman, who runs Darul Shifa, an alternative medication method in Islam. Just like a medical specialist centre to cure people for “jinn”, “satans”, “ghost” and unsolved deceases.
The “Darul Shifa” is believed as one of the place to solve the unidentified medical cases. They do it in the Islamic way accordingly. They make good money, good profit and no doubt about it. He is the currently the Deputy “Mursyidul Am” PAS, the deputy of Nik Aziz. He was chosen as one of the favorite candidate last PAS election, but he refused to contest. He refused to contest if there is other competitor in the quest of the post. He wanted to be the one and only candidate. He insisted to be the only chosen one by the member of party. “Muttafaqun ‘alaihi”. This arab’s term seems fit him. Will this man get the seat without any candidate to compete him this time? Are the others are willing to back of? Will they? Or Harun Din will be another “flip flop” celebrities?
The Vice President of PAS will be contested by 16 persons. What a large number! The number is larger then UMNO candidates for UMNO Vice President on last Mac. They are Salahuddin Ayob, Tuan Ibrahim, Dr. Hassan Ali, Mahfuz, Nizar the “puppet”, Taib Azamuddin, Mohd. Amar, Mujahid the son of Yusuf Rawa, Kamaruddin Jaafar the “hands of Anwar”, Harun Taib, Ahmad Awang and Idris Ahmad. Some of them are veterans. Some of them are “endorgan”. Some of them are “opportunist”. Only a few of them are coming from so called “ulama” PAS. And the other 4 candidates consisting the candidate of Deputy President of PAS. What a lust of power! The Malays call it “gila kuasa”!
Let them go through their party election in “democratic” way. It’s their right. This article is just to remind them that the “virus” that Anwar Ibrahim used to “planted” in UMNO is now being “implemented to their party. The “virus” of political corruption is now being introduced by De Facto of PKR just like he bought the vote for his power in UMNO last decade. Just the way he “kicked out” our beloved late nationalist Tun Ghafar Baba. Just like the way he spread out the “pink form” among UMNO members. Just like the “Iblis” asked Adam A.S and Hawa to eat “khuldi” fruits from heaven!
So beware of that. It is not me who say that. You can see it by yourself. You can hear the call of Muhammad Daud Al-Iraqi, the head of PAS ulama’ hall a few days ago. You can hear what did Nik Aziz said that “you are now are being friend with satan”, instead to destroy your Muslim brothers! Beware of him. The “black heart” is trying to torn PAS apart. Even Nik Abduh had seen that and he did remind you earlier. Beware my beloved Muslim brother of PAS. “The devil” is trying to destroy you!

Abolish ISA and Allow Mas Selamat To Walk Freely In Our Neighborhood
Last week the Police and Minister of Home Affairs announced the capture of Singapore’s most wanted fugitive, Mas Selamat Kastari.
On 27th February 2008 he escaped from Singapore’s detention center and the escape triggered massive movement of security personnel to apprehend him.
On 1st of April 2009, Mas Selamat was caught at a kampong in, Johor and last week, about a month later the police made official statement regarding Mas Selamat detention.
Due to ongoing investigation, it the police waited for almost 1 month to make official announcement. He is currently detained under ISA in Malaysia to assist in investigation.
The question now, why there wasn’t anyone making ‘noise’ regarding Mas Selamat detention under ISA?
Those within Pakatan Rakyat who are making much effort to abolish ISA have not come forward to fight against Mas Selamat ‘illegal’ detention.
I remember not too long ago, they will take to the street the moment anyone from Pakatan Rakyat or someone with political interest was detained under ISA.
But today no one take to the street when it is known that Mas Selamat is currently detained under ISA? Is Mas Selamat least human? Or is it because Mas Selamat has no political value for him to be defended?
Where is Pakatan Rakyat? Where is the compassion in Pakatan Rakyat that was shown on numerous occasions before? Where are the NGO’s fighting for those under detention? Where is Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA?
Why is the double standard? Why hiding behind “abolishment of ISA” when in the first place they want their political allies to be freed.
The struggle to abolish ISA is a political ploy. They don’t care much about others who are under detention except for political prisoners.
So tell me something. Do you think Mas Selamat should be freed? Should we let him loose and roam free to create fear in us? Should we let him walk freely together with us to KLCC fully knowing what he’s capable of doing?
Fortunately the answers to these questions are not in your hand.
